I will answer your question with onw word:

NO.

I would prefer neither Sonic Go Fish or playing with Dollies, thanks.

It could be interesting either way, I think the TCG might work out better in the long run though. The way I imagine it, you might be able to use cards that are themed around a particular character, say Sonic or Amy, and focus on enhancing what abilities they are given. Ring cards could be used as energy/mana cards to "power" attacks, and Emeralds could be collected as prizes or could appear in the form of cards that, if you happen to get all seven, can blast away at your opponent with super power. You could try to spread out to maybe using two characters, say Knuckles and Rouge, and maybe get some kind of team combination attacks, but as with most TCGs that makes it harder to get the cards you want when you need them.

The miniatures game...honestly, I'm not so sure this would be so good for Sonic. Maybe a board game like Hero's Quest (that old one from long ago, y'know?), where each character could have certain abilities but everyone can ultimately do the same basic things to accomplish quests and such. But a miniatures game? Usually those are to pit armies against each other, and Sonic would have to either be cloned a lot or would have to be insanely powerful to balance out against Eggman's robots. Possibly with the new Shadow the Hedgehog game out, it might be possible to have armies with the aliens, GUN and Eggman, but that hardly features Sonic or any of the other primary characters.

Between these two, I'd go for the card game. It's a lot more customizable, doesn't require a game board (though it does still need space to play in), and it would be an easy way for SEGA to make some profit on the side with Sonic. And make the price range more available to players of all ages. Miniatures would be cool to see if they were well-painted, though.

well, in the games, robots are weaker than sonic, robots die in 1 hit. So therefore the robots are very low costed while sonic is more powerful and and more points. Really the basic scale would be 5 normal characters to 20-30 robots. Robots aren't that strong and die in 1 hit.

wonderbat, you havent considered anything. i worked w/ knuxguardian, and the mineatures game is actually very decent. still working on it. like he said, it is actually balanced. and the card game has some very original ideas for battling trading card games. it is dice based. and you win based on points earned during the game, based on how awesome you are playing, like points in a sonic game, when you kill stuff, but different.

also we are considering a board game. i was thinking a sonic risk, with levels as territories, the armys are sonic (sonic, tails, knux), black arm, eggman robots, and gun.

Watch out, Wonderbat, he used the stabbing emoticon.

and yno i actually made this TFC board game back in the day. It kicked ass.

But on topic, sonic would not be fit for a card or minature game, kthx.

let me mention that we didnt just put sonic in a game that doesnt fit him, we made the game around sonic. there is a difference. we could of just taken the magic formula, and changed a few rules, and put sonic characters in there. which is what alot of fangames do.

o and here is my army of stabby guys:

Smilies removed --TR

Exactly what gamma said. We used are using as many gameplay elements from the sonic video games as possible. I bet if you tried either one you would be hooked.

now knuxguardian, your doing exactly what we don't want to do. we are not supposed to tell people, it is really good because we made it and think it was fun! that doesnt work. tell them the idea, give a preview of it. and then, if they want, let them try it (if possible), and if that doesnt work, we can use my army of stabby guys. i left two out in my last post, sorry bennedetto and the killa dynamo: here you go

so should i post a sample?

See, I don't know where you came from, or if you read the rules (For which I'm not going to provide a link; If you can't be bothered to read 'em yourself, then you stay here will be rather short, methinks) , but that's a pretty big no-no, not to mention just annoying in general.

Way to make me not like that emoticon anymore, by the way.

I didn't bother addressing the issue of the likelihood of either the TCG or the miniatures game; I only decided to point out which one I think I'd go with out of the two.

And Knux, Gamma, please don't abuse the emoticons. It's cool to post up projects and stuff up here, but don't say something and then be all, "But wait, naw let's not tell them after all." That'll kill interest in your project and make it harder for you to get support in the long run.

Welcome to the board, BTW.

thanks. We never said we won't tell you. What gamma said was i shouldn't tell them that it is good. Basically he's saying let them have their own opinion. So what do u think now about the robots being weak?

That makes sense - obviously it would have to be balanced out so that Sonic doesn't get overwhelmed by sheer numbers, but it would be possible. I'd have to see it in action to get the full idea of how it would work - would it be mission-based play, or would it just be Sonic and friends versus huge army of robots?

Both. There will are various missions to choose from. Basically you choose a team of hero or dark characters to play with.Then do the mission. You can face heroes off against heroes. Neutral characters can join any affiliation.

Ok here's a small preview:
Basically before the game starts you build a team according to the point value. You get to choose the character's attacks at the begining of the game since there are so many. You and the opponent set-up according to the mission then start the game. Some missions include:Survivor(last man standing),point mode(Person with most points at end of so many turns) and treasure hunt(Get all the chaos emeralds into your territory). Comments?

Okay.

And please edit your post if you're going to post right after yourself. :[

Okay? What do you think wesu?

well i really have no intention on staying on this board besides this topic ocasionally. so i really dont care what you guys think of my army. u seem like a cool dude Tergonaut "> my compliments to you, it is hard to find cool people on sonic boards (or video game boards in general)

i think the minitures game could work.
like this armies:
sonics' team could have mobians
black arms
G.U.N
eggman empire
echidna tribe

there could be heros:
sonic and co ETC

the way the armys work is this:
hero allegence characters can only work with other heroes or neutral (unless your doing a special mission that says other wise), darks with darks or neutrals, etc. and we are NOT having comic book characters (Mobians) if we can. The comics are good, but waaaaay non-cannon to sonic.

thakns for the compliments. We're basically using what you said but including chao.
